Why didn't I think of this?

That's scary. It doesn't look sturdy enough be be either accurate or safe.

Brings to mind the sport of power belt sander racing -- that thing looks like it's set to take off across the room.

reassuring if they had some sort of fence...

Is that a genuine Milwaukee on there or a "Chicago Electric" clone?

Just hazarding (apt word to use, eh?) a guess here: "Because you're not suicidally insane?"

Sounds like fun - just remove those end stops on the bars, get a long extension cord, and 3 2 1 go! It does look like it'd be a better circ saw launch pad than "radial arm saw". Why not just make a sled? I usually use a right angle cutoff guide, but I've been planning to make something like this:

It isn't much worse than the one Ryobi makes (made). It didn't give me good feelings either, but the aluminum siding guys liked them.

Somehow I don't trust that clamp based on the cost of this jig.

For the same reason we would not sell some clown a large lot of arms, tracks and rollerheads for "his special machine resale application" Lets see, who has the deep pockets in that product liability chain?.....

Boy, o, boy, I just don't know. I'm not sure I'd trust it with a 3-bit molding head or a dado blade. That vertical support, even with the added support from the height adjustment, doesn't look all that solid

And, yeah, damned if that doesn't look like a genuine Milwaukee logo on that blade guard. That's another thing, if they take the blade guard and base off that saw it wouldn't be quite as heavy and maybe the vertical would be sufficient.

Hey! I've GOT one of those things! DOL's uncle bought it on a whim, never put it together and decided the space it occuppied in his garage

- still in its box - could be used for something else. Left it on the end of my workbench while I was out and about - with a note "Thought you might get some use out of this thin."

So now I'm trying to figure out a way to use it to hold a SMALL router on my JET mini-lathe for fluting and maybe spiral cutting.

Thanks for the reminder.

These things have been available in one form or another for 30 years that I know of, I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't first invented shortly after the handheld circular saw.

[George Max]

at that price probably is.

[Andy]

Just curious - who's a DOL? Andy

[Robatoy]

Check the specs:

Saw capacity: 7-1/4'' and 7-1/2'' circular saws Table length: 24'' Love this one>>>>>Maximum cutting thickness: 12-3/4'' Maximum miter & bevel: 45=B0 Rip capacity: 15-3/4''>>>> that's a lot of meat. Height: 22'' Weight: 23 lbs.>>>> That'll hurt when it hits you...

There ought to be a law.

Typo - DIL - daughter in law

and there probly will be a law. right after the law suit that follows the lost limb accident that will eventually happen with this contraption. and yet, some fool will buy it!

them all up.

This sanding attachment for a drill press looks like it might actually work if you put something in the middle.

[Say What?]

Aw shucks, I was going to give you credit for being a bit racy. Figured it was either Dad of Lover or Daughter of Lover
